University of Maryland - College Park
University of Arizona
Syracuse
Northeastern (father's an alum)
Notre Dame (father's an alum)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Any thoughts, please!?</p>
<p>Whats it like having 2 dads?</p>
<p>ND- saftey</p>
<p>haha, undergrad at Northeastern, law school at Notre Dame</p>
<p>any thoughts on the other schools please?</p>
<p>I am certainly no expert here... but I do pour over this website in addition to my many many college guide books... also, my son has similar specs... so I'll give it a try...</p>
<p>University of Connecticut - safety/match
University of Florida - match/reach
University of Michigan - match/reach
University of Maryland - match/reach
University of Arizona - safety
Syracuse - match
Northeastern - safety
Notre Dame - Don't have a clue...</p>
<p>Have you looked on this message board under each college? Sometimes you can find a thread where people who have gotten in discuss their stats.</p>
<p>You might find these links helpful as well...

Hopefully, these links will work :-)</p>
<p>I would also say that Syracuse is a match, UConn is a match/safety, but Northeastern is a match/reach (esp. coming from Ma.). I do not know enough about the others to comment.</p>
<p>bump, anyone please?</p>
<p>Notre Dame and Michigan are reaches.</p>
<p>I don't know enough about the others to comment.</p>
<p>Of the schools you listed, I believe the matches might be UAz, UFla, & Syracuse. The others sound tougher to get into, especially since you're a non-resident. Notre Dame is VERY selective; if your parent donates money, perhaps being an alum child would be a tip factor or more, otherwise, not sure it helps.
Northwestern is also pretty tough to get into; we're thinking it may be a reach for my son who has >3.6 gpa & 2230 SATs, but not sure.</p>
<p>thanks, anyone else know about these schools?</p>
<p>Is your SAT score new or old? That makes a huge difference...</p>
<p>I have a 1300 SAT, 1900 w/writing</p>
<p>ND is a pretty big reach, and NEU depends on the program. If arts and sciences, a solid match, but the more profession-oriented schools are much harder (and don't apply undecided)</p>
<p>Notre Dame and U of Michigan are reaches. Michigan looks for high unweighted GPAs based upon their criteria. Your SATs are below average for an OSS.</p>
<p>Any other thoughts?</p>
<p>HIMom, I believe Ocollegekid1 said NorthEASTERN, not NorthWESTERN... and from the stats, I don't think it's so much of a reach.</p>
<p>On another note, the other site I'd tried to put the link for is </p>
<p>http//apps.amityregion5.org/colleges/CollegeApp</p>
<p>which has LOTS of HS kids' stats and where they were accepted over the course of a few years (for many colleges)...a real eyeopener! Check out the stats of kids not accepted to MIT, Harvard, etc....</p>
<p>any other thoughts?</p>
